Dynaudio resolution

Years ago I bought a pair of dynaudio audience 80's to replace my kef r105/3's and while I was more than a little impressed with the bass I couldn't help but notice mid/tweeter resolution was lacking. That was many moons ago(kef's are long gone). I returned the A80 and got the kef's refoamed. now i'm buying and trying full range speakers on the 2nd hand market and remember how great the bass was from those dyn's. Is the esotar tweeter a hi rez tweeter? Do current models have the top to bottom resolution of the other top brands? and how sensitive are they to partnering components? say price range of a used pair of C4's. Tks Steve

I was reading on another forum the esotar tweeter is a word and doesn't mean each line of speakers gets the same esotar tweeter. like kef back in the day all their tweeters were t33 but each line was a different t33. Is the esotar 2 in the contour the same esotar 2 in the confidence like or focus line?

Many speakers designed to be flat are so boring to listen to. I always liked the bass Dynaudio could get from their designs but there's got to be fans out there that have gone up the chain that can describe the audible differences from series to series.

Thanks for the reply's. The new contour line is beautiful but way out of my comfort zone pricewise. There are some attractive deals on this site and while I'm not worried about Dyn's reproducing bass I really don't know how high up the ladder to go. musicaddict, like you i've had speakers that offer another layer of information on old recordings and a hot tweeter can reveal the highs, but a truly hi res speaker will put the information in the right space, the contrast between notes is lost with a hot tweeter. not sure if I said it right, but yes, how far up the dynaudio line do I go to get that resolution
